What is the purpose of the optical port module on a TP-Link router
The SFP+ port is a high-speed optical-to-optical signal conversion port, mainly used for 10G Ethernet and Fiber Channel network applications. A key advantage of SFP+ Modules is that they are "hot-swappable", meaning they can be swapped out while the router is still powered on. You can use an SFP optic module to turn electrical signals into optical signals. This lets you send data far away. SFP modules work in many network. Routers with Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports provide networking environments with unprecedented flexibility and scalability. These types of ports can be used with various transceivers thereby allowing the system administrators to customize connectivity according to their network topology. An SFP port is a physically small slot in a networking device that accepts an SFP module insert. Most modern networking devices, such as Ethernet switches, servers, routers, network interface cards, and fiber media converters, generally have two or more built-in SFP ports.
